Plastic Bags

Residents are discouraged from disposing plastic bags with regular refuse because they can clog sorting machinery or blow away before reaching the waste facility. Instead, plastic bags can be dropped off for recycling at many major grocery and some retail stores for recycling. Stores that collect plastic bags for recycling in Elk Grove include:

Jewel-Osco
20 Biesterfield Rd
Elk Grove Village, IL 60007

Walmart
801 S Meacham Rd
Elk Grove Village, IL 60007

The recycling bins are normally located near the front entrance of the store.
